Special Moments

NEW WORKS FROM THE STUDIO OF ART BY WENDY

Special Moments - 16 x 20 - Graphite -$500

Have you
seen the seals basking in the sun on the rocks?

As the tide drops, lots of rocky shoreline appears and offers lovely resting
spots for the seals.When we were up at
Texada Island, BC, this summer there was a large number of seals, 'hanging out' along
the little coastal islands. In the evening we would see them splashing as they drove
the fish into the bay for a quick supper.When the waters were calm we often saw a mother with her pup, moving it along with her nose. I thought maybe she was trying to build up their swimming endurance. We often saw a group basking in the sun on the rocks when we were out in the boat.

This pair, mom and pup, were settled nicely on the rocks and gave us a
quick look before going back to sleep.We obviously were not very interesting!I got great reference pictures and I could hardly wait to work on "Special Moments" when we got home. Special Moments is on view now at my show "Value & Colour Comes to Life" till Sept 30, at the UPSTAIRS GALLERY, Langley Arts Council Residence Gallery, 20550 Fraser Hwy, Langley, open Mon - Sat, 10-5pm. As always cards and prints are available for any of my work starting at $3.50 for cards.
